Traversing Tradition

by Sean Deckert Traversing Tradition demonstrates an activist role by informing and educating viewers about lesser-known situations that exist in Phoenix. As the development of Phoenix increases with industrial growth and social strength, there are many facets of the city vascular system that are left to be exposed. The installation of racially driven politics force action from both sides which raises questions on what will happen in the future to this American city. The diminishing value in historical property is constantly reflected through city planning decisions in development, while vacant condos and abandon track house neighborhoods are on the rise. These broken relationships are definitive of the perceived progress this city has made in the last decade. What is to come for the 5th largest city in the USA? The people are the life of this city, and I am waiting for the right kind of people to have the right kind of power.Tags: portrait, fine art, phoenix
